The Walkers Among Us

Didn't realize how many people found personal consolation or their "voice" through this show. Some needed to confirm their belief that human nature would triumph and other confirmed that evil would win out. Whichever side of the spectrum you were on there was a platform to confirm your opinion. Some people thought The Walking Dead was only for adults - others thought it was a great family show. I think it is only a family show if you are right there to comfort and explain what is going on. Really interesting people in the movie and I met some talented and devoted fans at the premier that I will always remember. Looking forward to another documentary on Star Wars. I think there is still the possibility of going really "deep" into the pseudo-dark sides of us all.

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, even casually, you'll enjoy this! I've seen other fan documentaries (Star Trek, etc.) produced by Hollywood types, and this one is as good, if not better, than any of them. It really captures the essence of how a TV Show can touch people's lives. Don't mistake this for a documentary "about" the show, although it features some former cast members and extras (aka, walkers). It's totally about fans of the show and the impact it's had on their lives. From those that just like to cos-play as their favorite character, those that attend the various fan conventions, those that collect memorabilia, those that tour the various filing locations, to those who's lives have been ever changed by a TV show. There are a couple really touching segments, and, you get the feeling that the actors and producers really appreciate all the fan support. Overall, a very professionally produced and entertaining look at the fans of The Walking Dead!

"The Walkers Among Us" is an in depth documentary that covers numerous facets of what it's like to be a die hard fan of "The Walking Dead". As a dedicated fan, I have come to meet others who share in my love for the show, many of whom are featured in this documentary. We have termed those who share our passion "TWD family". We discuss each episode, collect items pertaining to the show, tour the filming sites, and anticipate seeing each other at future events. This film also covered conventions to which fans flock with the intention of meeting the cast members who portray their favorite characters. This documentary is a MUST SEE for those who share a passion for the show! Do yourself a favor and check it out!

I thought THE WALKERS AMONG US would be a documentary about the success of THE WALKING DEAD, featuring interviews with cast and crew members and looking at the reasons for its popularity. Instead it's a film celebrating fan culture in America, looking at the wide variety of WALKING DEAD viewers who take their fandom a little bit too far.

If you like watching programmes in which people go around professing their undying love for figures who they don't even know, then this is the show for you. We get a lot of adulation, a lot of endless praise, and a lot of people who look nothing like the characters in the show dressing up as the characters in the show. I've always been a bit bemused by the whole cosplay thing and I still am after watching this.

Sure, there are a few voices of reason here and there from the less obsessed fans, and it's good to see the likes of Michael Rooker, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Howard Sherman, and Tom Savini pop up in brief interview clips. But for the most part this is cringeworthy viewing, and it certainly doesn't make the fans look good; embarrassing more like. The documentary makers shoot furtive clips of Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln at various conventions and edit them into a rather random movie that will only appeal to like-minded folk.
